Look at the background of Perez’s JLA cover. Yes, it’s highly detailed… but it’s detail that conforms to certain principles like…
• perspective
• scale, and…
• design (meaning it has to look good)
Now, can you imagine having to ink all that. Human forms are forgivable but if the 2 lines of a pipe do not correctly line up, even the untrained eye will notice. And any one who has held a rotering inking pen knows the steady hand thats required to lay down pipes like that. Incredible still is that the only white out is on the foreground hands, none on the pipes themselves, which means it was all done in one stroke **insert golf clap here**
To me, the colour detracts from the incredible craftsmanship this particular cover demonstrates:
